it's a ballad boycott collective of widespread anger and a pull the islamist led opposition says is rigged in support of the u.s. backed monarchy. egyptian president mohamed morsi names the date for a public referendum on the country's that new constitution amid ongoing mass protests triggered by his of self-imposed powers. and israel reportedly strikes a residential area in gaza injuring four civilians despite the ceasefire agreed between the two this comes just days after the u.n. upgraded palestine's diplomatic status.

and a lot from our studios in central moscow this is r.t. certainly glad to have you with us the vote counting is of still underway in kuwait where the opposition claims it is the lowest turnout ever with only a quarter of people casting a ballot the sunni dominated opposition has boycotted the parliamentary ballot and they accuse the monarchy of changing the election rules to influence the outcome of the poll was a captain obvious in the gulf state with the latest. well the polls are closed doors olds are in but the battle over kuwait's political future has only just begun as expected the new parliament is largely consisting of folks who are considered to be closely allied with the ruling power but that is because the opposition didn't front any candidates in a boycott of the vote they've even questioned the outcome before the last ballot was cast voter turnout varied widely from polling place to polling place but with very low numbers at some locations the legitimacy of the results are certainly bound to be questioned another crisis was sparked after the islamist dominated

parliament it was dismissed over a row with the ruling power of the situation was then brought to a boiling point after the emir issued a surprise decree changing the country's complicated voting laws critics allege that it was a move in order to force a more compliant parliament which had sparked massive street battles as well as the boycott that we're not discussing now the political rift is only likely to deepen the question is whether the opposition is now going to take their fight to the streets and whether the monarchy will respond with a heavy hand force what happens here has implications far beyond kuwait's borders as an opec member any sort of unrest is bound to affect oil markets the country is also a hub for the pentagon's ground forces with thousands of combat troops stationed here as a military counterweight to iran now the gulf monarchies have been struggling to fend off possible instability from the arab spring with varying degrees of success kuwait has largely seen as the most tolerant of the countries in this region but

the worry is of course that the trend could be reversed recent months have seen as collating clashes between a position groups and security forces who have used tear gas stun grenades and rubber bullets to disperse crowds of political gatherings of more than twenty people have been banned and activists are complaining of the clamor down against dissent authorities and did allow thousands of protesters to gather for a peaceful. a rally on friday but the worry is that the next few weeks are bound to test the limits of the government's tolerance as well as the self control displayed by the opposition what happens here in kuwait could very well write the next chapter of the arab spring is the catherine of r t kuwait's eric draitser a geo political analyst from stop imperialism dot com says kuwait needs to balance its own interests with the influence of the west the most important element in all of this is whether or not the opposition is able to stand up against this family the ruling class the ruling class in kuwait and most importantly standing against

us imperialism kuwait in and of itself is not terribly important but when seen in the context of the g.c.c. and seen as one of the most reliable u.s. allies particularly juxtaposed against what is happening in bahrain and we understand that the united states in the western powers cannot allow the saw family to fall you have to see that kuwait is a launching point in a possible war against iran so all of these taken together really shows that the united states has both political geo political and then of course social reasons why they want to maintain the status quo. egypt's president mohamed morsi has announced of the referendum on the new constitution will be held on december the fifteenth that's as the country is gripped by unrelenting protests with thousands coming out both for and against morsi and as artie's tom barton reports the document approved by his islamist allies has come in for some fierce criticism we've been hearing for over a week now from the opponents and for education president mohamed morsi and the muslim brotherhood who backed him the pretty this is him if the decree he gave last

week runs in himself sweeping new powers the power to make decrees with no legal challenge under the new constitution here rush through opponents say to islamist well you won't hear any in fact criticism here so this is a demonstration in support behind which you see many people. for us that was so from other sections of egyptian society. very supportive of him as a president standing. practically next to it thank you thank you his declaration that was for a good reason that you think is reasonable for. him to be showing but it's not just the simple. see ambushes the. samsonite i mean. they were present it was a cheap shot society at large sections of the population and this is someone who

was speaking to me out of this not just being peaceful protests in around tahrir square that i've been wanting around egypt some protesters thank you for being wounded these demonstrators in support of mohamed morsi say he was with me i think you would be a physician your my family she's going to have to resign o'connor thank you after trying some kind of be political because if you're still doing democracy lucian's was a saudi middle east expert dr omar shore says morsi is not doing enough to pacify his opponents. thirteen point two million voters who voted for the president and there are more than twelve million that will do it against him so any of these camps can mobilize hundreds of seldon's in egypt it's a power struggle the opposition or some of its leaders at least lost the

presidential elections in the parliamentary elections before that they are quite weighty about islamist supporters of the president and don't want to see it islamised domination of egypt's elected institutions the president was elected by a very narrow margin i'm not surprised with the polarization i think the president could have done a better job in containing such a call that isaacson by having a better communication strategies but definitely egypt if the constitution was upheld and if we had. on him introductions i think egypt will be heading towards the truck. some of footage has emerged apparently showing syrian rebels executing loyalists while their victims pleaded for their lives some of the images you're about to see are graphic one of the government is heard referencing an al qaeda linked group behind several terrorist attacks in the country this comes as the opposition fighters claim that new advances in their drive towards the capital damascus in the meantime authorities say they have restored all internet and phone

services after a two day nationwide communications blackout news analyst patrick henningsen says the information blockade benefits those backing the rebel militias the move massive problem again with syria and we've had this problem from the beginning which is the skewing of information coming out of the country the syrian observatory for human rights was responsible for a lot of the. claims or allowed the west to sort of justify the backing of the for you syrian army terrorist groups the leaders of our western countries particularly nato countries or encouraging the syrian terrorist rebels guerrillas whatever you want to call them to really accelerate the blood in that country because in the eyes of washington and london they're going to get the blood out that quickly they're going to have reaching here in just a report just came out this week with a supplying satellite units to rebels rebel groups terrorist groups essentially in

syria so they can communicate while the internet is down the country there was an initially sold in the media in places like the washington post a move by the assad government possibly to shut down rebel communications but actually looking upon further investigation it looks like it's possible that actually the combination of the united states operatives and the syrian rebels could actually be behind the bringing down the internet and the reason is is because if the blood escalates from that country the last thing that the west wants is any reports coming out on the internet of actual rebel terrorist atrocities in the country across these that we've seen quite a bit of recently. and you are with the future of america's high tech jeopardy find out why silicon valley is shutting out of the innovators who helped create its digital revolution plus. i'm kind of a thought what i don't know doesn't hurt me so if your government is killing

innocent people you're ok with that i'm not saying i'm ok with that but. i know i'm contradicting myself but i obviously don't want my government to kill innocent people but in the same boat. how do i know that we ask people in new york whether ignorance is bliss when it comes to their government stark secrets that saul still ahead this hour on our short break. you can tell an ordinary russian siberian appalled in the blink of an. anthropologist. those days siberians were different clothes different food. different animals. but what about. my journey began in two men but the big city was all shiny. scrapers and shopping malls much like any other prosperous russian.

so i decided to try. a small town just outside. many. dumplings came from here to dominate the russian cuisine but only in siberia . with cabbage and making sure you can have as a start the main dish. although it may draw out of. most. people in siberia see nothing wrong with hunting though only a few decide to participate. when

you look upon martin. as in the middle of a swamp only accessible by in the summer months and winter. it's inhabited by. a large muslim minority that migrated head before the russians. and this. israel siberia maybe not the stuff of tourist brochures but distinctive enough to show that all these yeahs siberia still not quite like anywhere else. the great russian barrios. prevailing over hazards and asperity. to reenact an epic parade through paris. can they complete that

triumphant. british people's admiration for two hundred. zero zero zero. zero zero zero. zero. zero. live from our studios in moscow this is r.t. glad to have you with us now we are getting conflicting reports on a possible cease fire violation an israeli tank has apparently shelled a residential area in gaza injuring four people from one family however some reports claim it could be. petrol tank explosion of course we will be following the

developments as they come out meanwhile a number of western countries plus the un have hit out at israel for authorizing three thousand new settler homes in the west bank and east jerusalem u.s. called the construction decision counterproductive to peace negotiations to end of the arab israeli conflict and save the lands in the west bank and what used to jerusalem which were occupied by israel in the one nine hundred sixty s. must be returned to the human rights activist steve hind legs both sides are now further from a two state solution than ever before. if we're serious about a two state solution and if we're serious about moving towards that. there's no way that this will have a settlement expansion can be seen as in any way a move towards getting back on the table and moving towards the peace talks that both sides so desperately need in the latest upsurge in violence that we've seen documented proof that israel launched indiscriminate attacks i.e.

they failed to distinguish between combatant and civilian in the same way that hamas rocket attacks very clearly are aimed at civilians which is a violation of international humanitarian law in the sense that it's target civilian. indiscriminate nature of the arsenal we're further away from a two state solution perhaps you've ever been before but only by building on the international consensus that we've got israel and even the united states a favor away from can we hope to move towards. long lasting peace. or some other stories making headlines across the globe at least two people have been injured as clashes broke out at the inauguration of mexico's president police used tear gas to disperse in the. protesters trying to break through security barriers by throwing molotov cocktails the demonstrators claim president yetto bought votes to secure his election with. north korea says it will try to launch a long range rocket later this month the move is set to sour relations with south korea and the united states that failed launch in april resulted in washington

suspending food aid to the tarion state tension on the peninsula is also rising over south korea's recent deal with the u.s. which will dramatically increase souls' ballistic missile range. at least two people have been killed and three badly injured when a double decker bus hit a bridge at miami international airport police are questioning the driver who is not believed to be familiar with the airport's road system the vehicle carrying thirty two mostly elderly passengers was too tall for the entrance to the arrivals area. silicon valley has long been the world's leading hub for high tech business a reputation largely attributed to an influx of foreign entrepreneurs but as artie's medina caution over found out this global symbol of enterprise could soon be in danger with of the u.s. growing ever more reluctant to welcome new talent from abroad puts the silicon valley. lots of sharing helping each other even competitors will

help each other some of the biggest brands on the planet and i'll end. with america and surprisingly the majority were created by foreigners. jerry yang who was born in taipei surrogate britain whose parents came from russia when he was six or pierre omidyar and iranian born in paris silicon valley has thrived thanks largely to immigrants people who came here with their dreams and had the drive to make them a reality they transformed this place into an unreliable hub for high tech development the birthplace of global pioneers one person who helps those outsiders to get a foot in the door is german born and how it could blend struck she says the valley moves so fast that it seems skilled foreigners springing up left right and center that she average day and there is a simple reason such success is coming their way so many of the of the indians and

chinese that come in the others they make these great companies and then they hire people so they are really giving work i think they are hungry for the words they want to succeed they're driven the valleys the biggest price came with the boom of immigrants in the ninety's that brought innovations in software and internet services the numbers speak for themselves just over half of the companies found it in silicon valley from the mid ninety's to the mid two thousand had founders born and brought in the latest research says there is a case to one for being born inventor behind three quarters off after a new patient and like her many others getting impatient for a start up is what brought julia to palo alto her project is called smart wall and works is a messaging tool for those who want to avoid social networks most of the people that are that i see are foreigners and also there are a lot of americans that are not from here so they're also coming it's it's not

a matter of nationality here is a matter of the real skills that you have but there are some clouds on the california sky currently over half of foreign born inventiveness face a visa hurdles the end. knowing economic recession has broad deep fears that home and not much needed jobs going into hands that have come from brought me on for many to understand that foreigners can actually bring benefits to times when america so desperate to meet them and i think that's something that white america doesn't get they don't understand why. because they don't because i think that a lot of this fear is still are they taking our jobs the way america prides itself on being a melting pot the country where thousands flocked for a better life but u.s. immigration policy me put an end to all that you know question artsy. and for more on our stories you can head to our web site already there for you right now

the u.s. senate approves a bill on national security which could damage the ability of afghanistan's security forces find out why online plus. the raid approach and publishes his official welcoming address revealing the agenda for the year ahead as russia assumes the presidency of the g twenty. and u.k. officials get hot under the collar as one hundred seventy boxes containing top secret files about britain's former colonial rule have gone missing all that is on our website our team doctor. during two days of pretrial hearings are lawyers for the american private accused of leaking classified data to wiki leaks told the court about his mistreatment and suicidal thoughts bradley manning has already spent the best part of two years in detention for allegedly revealing killings of the u.s. military did not want to exposed the adversary of the cable gate to that landed him behind bars. asks whether people really want to know what their governments are up to. it's

been two years since wiki leaks released what's now known as cable gates the world's largest leak of classified u.s. material so has it changed the world much this week let's talk about that i'm kind of a thought what i don't know doesn't hurt me so if your government is killing innocent people you're ok with that i'm not saying i'm ok with that but. i know i'm contradicting myself but i obviously don't want my government to kill innocent people but in the same boat. how do i know they're innocent if you run a government and you live or you run a business this is a a business and you lead everyone from your employees to the person who's the janitor to know everything about your business something's going to come back and haunt you and so maybe you shouldn't do anything that would haunt you. if. you have a good point knowledge is power right so we found out some information so that's a positive thing but i don't know if it's changed anything you don't think it's

changed the way the governments might act i think if they broke through some sort of firewall to get this information they probably built a new firewall that they can't break through quite as easily i don't think i it's changed anything i think the government is going to make it more of a secret you know as long as there is money power involved i don't think anything's going to change the information has since the printing of good will burke in the fourteenth century. the public is allowed to have information what about the government are they allowed to have information about us certainly yes so what about the people who protested that the government is using the internet to spy on us. well if you want to spy on each other just look at today just to minutes ago syria just closing the internet so is that a government the i think of the government especially the what america is the world is ultimately is going to be about it whether or not we feel like wiki leaks has changed the world the bomb. the minus governments might now feel like they have

their own big brother watching and hopefully that's a good thing. and coming up the russian cossack's that ran out of their historic march towards paris during the new polling on a quarter or two special report that's after this break. remains in this tree even for specialists a voice can produce several sounds it warms between aeons the art of throat singing comes naturally picked up like a language. a language of communicating with nature it said that's where throat singing

originates from the unions believe not only animals but also all surrounding objects like reverse forests and even stones of souls by imitating the sounds they believe assumes to capture the power of nature. was. there are special instruments that accompany the singing give gainey says there is even a legend about his instrument a gil it says it wants to leave to poor shefford who had the best horse that won every competition but jealous people killed it on the horse was revived as an instrument. those that have suffered a fall is because of the spirit of the horse coming to his dream and said make an instrument from the tree the sounding board from the leather of my face the strings . and to remember me make an engraving of my head part of the instrument he did so

i called the instrument again which means come back and this melody only instrument is called. to fly as one of the most famous groups in the the republic. next goal is to tour broad they say for you are p. and since difficult to pick up and sing so i asked them to teach me and see if i can do it little you cheer it up and they were. sharing it oh you. did that was sure you can know who it was you could take a r o. but now to be part of the song and not the actual through singing which i wouldn't even try to repeat. so maybe you have to be born here to be able to sing like this i thought so until i

met she looks like a deveny and i don't even speak their language but she is from japan. most says tomorrow. from two hundred years ago until stop here she's not planning a professional singing career she keeps practicing just because it's become part of her nature. in lines of three arms length apart word march. on an ordinary autumn morning in the provincial french town of montrose life is taking its usual laid back course but today the townsfolk are in for a surprise russian troops from the napoleonic wars have. it's

a great day. the likes of these men have not been seen here for the past two hundred yes it's almost as though a full parade has travelled through time bringing with it all the splendor of the pill bred horses weapons adama but with typical of the day. and the russian cossacks are here again marching towards paris. eventually but it comes from a family of cossacks and he's learned to sing the old version of the bus when his horse became lingering the journey the silly had to trail behind the procession he still believes the question of who won the battle of better than no is relevant. but you would say the bottle ended in a draw but it was an honorable droll there's no doubt the french emerged victorious they did override the battlefield and to have a seize the battlefield was the victor but even if it was a victory it was a costly one.

med with blood to ensure good morning oh jeez hats off for pereira. still a long way in the future. just beginning to get ready for the journey. here exactly one year ago. bacilli is making ready to ride his horse is called. good boy come over here for a ride down. just like a member of the family they often joked at the horses are even more dead than their wives and children. need to talk to him all the time he's just like a toddler he sees the world the same way. from all over the area have come to

take part in the. none of them has their own horse they haven't even seen. until now. but still tamed only a short while ago refused even to allow anyone to enter his stable. his head. is to keep his head out of homes away if he lets me do that means he likes and trusts me. with separation. up to the continental journey consisted of nothing but intense training under the. camp's riding tricks and how to shoot. straight. the chief. has spent a lifetime teaching me how to handle horses.
